Marjaan

Marjaan by Al Wataniah is a floral with a warm, animalic undertone. Everyone who describes it calls it floral, and about half also say ambery.

Only four notes are given, and they are broad rather than precise, so the picture is one of character rather than detail. Tuberose is the named flower, and it is a strong one: creamy, heady, slightly green at the start and almost buttery as it warms, with a sweetness that can read as narcotic. General floral notes fill out the bouquet around it. Underneath, amber brings a resinous, golden warmth, and animal notes add a musky, slightly furry depth that makes the flowers feel richer and less clean.

Marjaan is worn by anyone. Community data on longevity and sillage has not been collected yet, so it is worth testing on skin. The tuberose-and-amber combination suits evenings and cooler weather, and someone who likes big, warm white florals with a sensual edge rather than fresh, soapy ones.
